I've been soul-searching, lol. I found my drive back ;)
I hope you all enjoy this chapter, the end is near ;-)
Of course, leave it to Rosalie Hale, paired up with my sister Alice to plan a wedding in record time. If someone would've told me they did this over the course of year, I would have believed it without a doubt.
The entire night was magical and I couldn't help but take my mind there.
I promised myself I would never do it again, I would never let my guard down like that and I wouldn't ever, ever marry again.
That was the plan, anyway, but as I watched my Sapphire spin around on the dancefloor, I couldn't help myself.
Thoughts of her in one of those dresses, in front of our people and her eyes on mine as she walked towards me kept swimming around in my vision.
I couldn't, at least not now. It was far too early.
"Thanks again, Good Guy. You're sister is absolutely amazing." I felt two warm palms on top of my shoulders and a strand of hair in between my collar and neck.
I smiled at Rose as I tilted my head to meet her eyes. They were still blue, but sparkly and joyful. She looked perfect in her ivory, lace dress that seemed to be painted on her body.
"I swear if you're going to keep telling her that, she'll float right out of the ceiling. " I chuckled, amused at Rose's admiration for Alice.
"Hey, you have to hand it to her, Edward. She's pure planner-God-material." Rosalie chuckled.
"How can you even function in those shoes?" I shook my head humorously at her outrageously high heels, Rosalie looked more like a goddess herself than a bride.
"Years of practise, my dude. So why are you sitting out here all by yourself? Come dance with us!" She exclaimed, tugging on my hand profusely.
"You simply can't deny the bride's wish to dance with you, man." Emmett laughed as he walked back to the dance floor carrying three glasses of champagne for him and the girls.
I sighed deeply and nodded.
"Alright, you're lucky it's your wedding day, Rose."
Emmett made some kind of hand signal the DJ seemed to recognize immediately, since the next song was suddenly really slow and sappy. It wasn't Rose nor Em's taste, for sure but it was the cue for everyone to join in on the dancefloor and grab another person close.
"Babe, I hope you don't mind if I take your guy for a spin?" Rosalie asked Bella. She just laughed and shook her head as Emmett took her hand in hers after he dramatically bowed like some kind of olden times gentleman.
"Can I have this dance, Mrs. McCarty?" I followed suit and Rosalie put her hand in mine, the diamond on her finger sparkling in the dimmed lights of the dancefloor.
"Well, look at me. I've only just gotten married and here I am already dancing with some other guy." She joked.
"Thanks so much again, Edward. I'm not kidding, your sister is a gem. She's so easy to love, as well. I absolutely adore every single thing about today." Rose put her head on my shoulder as we swayed to the music.
"Thank you, Rosalie." I muttered.
"For what, GG?"
"For everything. I mean it. Thanks to you, I got to know Bella and well… She's the best thing that ever happened to me. All jokes aside, she makes me think of nights like this, even though I already had a night similar to this one, it would be so much better since it would be real."
Rosalie gasped slightly and lifted her head to look me in the eyes.
"I swear to God, are you planning on proposing?" She whispered, her eyes firmly planted on my girl and her husband making an utter fool of themselves as Bella took on the role of the man leading Emmett's uncoordinated feet around on the floor.
"I don't know, I shouldn't have said anything honestly." I shook my head and felt silly. I was probably going to get a lecture from the Big, Bad Blonde.
"What? No way, you can tell me anything. I swear. I thought you never wanted to do this again?" She remarked. I shrugged.
"It's so different, Rose. Everything is and I can't explain it."
"She feels the same way, you know. She told me a few weeks ago that she never fell for anyone like she did for you. And I believe her, I see it in everything she does. She's changed so much -for the better and for all I know, so have you."
My heart grew five sizes when Rosalie said that. I knew I wasn't the only one feeling this, but I had a hunch that I was making myself look like a naïve idiot talking to my girl's best friend like this.
"And don't ever feel humiliated by your feelings, Edward. I'm sure Tanya had her way of making you do that, and after all those years that she hurt you and corrupted your heart, it's only fair that you feel whole again. You deserve it. Bella does too, you know."
"You're right. But I won't propose right away, I want to do this slowly and I want to do it right this time around."
"You could never not do it right, Edward. After all, this is Isabella Swan we're talking about, and from all the stories she tells me, I bet there is nothing in the world that you could do to her that would make her feel less in love with you. Ever."
"Thanks again, Rose. And you are by far the most beautiful bride I've ever seen." I meant it but she lifted a brow.
"We'll talk again soon, boy. I bet there's one lady that would be the perfect bride and you'll see her on your wedding day." She winked at me and just like that, the song was over. As was our conversation, but it left a smile lingering on both our faces.
"Boss, come outside with me for a minute, will you?" Emmett said and nodded to the door.
"What's up, married man?" I joked and leaned against the cool brick wall. The habit of searching for a pack of smokes was still there, but I had none in my pockets so I looked a little odd.
"My girl just dropped a big bomb on me just now," he started.
"What? What happened?" My eyes widened and Emmett leaned closer to me.
"She said she wants this with you. And she swore me not to tell you, but she wants to go down on one knee for you, dude!" Emmetts revelation was a little shocking.
"What? No! That's not how I want this to happen!" I panicked.
"Relax, I told her not to rush things even though she was pretty hyped up. I made her promise not to do anything tonight because else Rose would kill her for taking away her spotlight." Emmett chuckled. He knew how to play my girl perfectly, and I loved him for it.
"Good. Because I want to propose to her." I stated, sure of myself this time.
"Than you better hurry, man."
So. Who's going to propose first? LOL
Love you guys
